Speaking to TV WEEK in 2019 Isabella revealed the Summer Bay set double as a masterclass in acting.

“I learnt to act on that show,” she explained.

“I made up a worksheet for myself with each scene, did extra classes, and basically made my own drama school.”

Following her time in the Bay, Isabella landed a role in AFL drama Playing For Keeps alongside Neighbours alumni Olympia Valance and Madeleine West.

“I had no sporting experience whatsoever,” Isabella told TV WEEK.

“Most people can build on having played netball or basketball, but I played nothing – it’s not in my body to catch and kick.”
