While still presumed to be the widowed Roman Brady, John Black had several romantic encounters and many crime adventures. Isabella came to Salem, looking for her sister Marina who had been married to Steve 'Patch' Johnson. After Marina was killed, Isabella was discovered in a sanitarium. It turned out that Isabella had killed her sister in self-defense but had blocked it from her memory.
Roman/John and Isabella soon fell in love. Aside from Marlena, Isabella was the truest love of his life. They planned to wed, but Marlena turned up alive. And so did the real Roman. Once things were sorted out, John and a pregnant Isabella made wedding plans. As it turned out, they had an unexpected guest at the wedding. Their son, Brady Black, was born in an anteroom of the church before the vows were made. The trio was a happy family, but their bliss was short lived. Isabella was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died in John's arms in Italy, on July 27th that same year.
Marina actually had Isabella placed in a sanitarium to "keep her safe". Jack found her there before Marina was killed, and helped her escape. She never went back after Marina's death.
