Ciara Alice Brady is the daughter of Bo Brady and Hope Brady.
While grieving over the death of their young son, Zack, Hope and Bo Brady found comfort in one another, and Ciara was conceived, although it took several months for Hope to learn she was pregnant. When she eventually did learn that she was pregnant, a classic "Who's the daddy?" storyline began. Hope had been to Morgan Island with Patrick Lockhart where, in a moment of weakness, she had found comfort in his arms.
Tests were run and it was "determined" that Hope's unborn child was Patrick's. Unbeknown to Hope and Bo, Patrick had paid the doctor to fix the test. Despite believing Patrick to be the father of her unborn child, Bo and Hope got back together, pushing Patrick to the point he decided he needed to kidnap Hope. On December 29, 2006, Ciara was born in a warehouse, delivered by Bo. Patrick revealed her true paternity before being arrested.
Ciara's name was selected by fans in an online poll. Out of the five original choices, narrowed down to three, Ciara Alice Brady was the winner.[1]
Ciara lived with Hope and Bo the first couple of years of her life before living with Hope, Doug and Julie after her mother and father separated for a short while. Ciara's parents have since reunited and separated again.
She has two older brothers, Shawn and Zack Brady (deceased) and one older paternal half-sister, Chelsea Brady.
On July 16, 2009 despite being born on-screen December 29, 2006 Ciara celebrated her fifth birthday with several family and friends.

John Thomas Brady Reiber (born John Thomas Brady) was the "adopted" son of Abe and Lexie Carver, but after an infant switch by Stefano DiMera he was believed to be the second son of Hope Brady and Bo Brady.
After years of trying for a baby the natural way, Abe and Lexie Carver decided that they would adopt a child. When Lexie's father Stefano DiMera heard about the news he was over joyed at the prospect of finally becoming a grandfather and asked that Abe and Lexie adopt the child of one of his distant relatives. The birth mother Marlo was in fact the niece of Dr. Rolf, Stefano's long time assistant. However none the wiser to Lexie and Abe, Stefano was planning a plot whereby Marlo's baby would be switched with the baby of Bo and Hope's who Stefano at the time thought might be his or John Black's. After the births of the babies Stefano had Dr. Rolf switch Hope's and Marlo's babies birth tags. So, the baby was instead taken home by Bo and Hope Brady and named John Thomas, getting his names from family friend John Black and "his" Great-Grandfather Dr. Thomas Horton.
After the baby switch drama was revealed in May 2002, the child was taken from Bo and Hope and returned to his biological father and step-mother, Glen and Barb Reiber. He was renamed John Thomas Brady Reiber. The family currently lives in Iowa.
Zack Brady

Beauregard Isaac Theo "Zack" Brady (born Isaac Theo Carver) is the second son and child of supercouple Hope and Bo Brady, born June 9, 2000. For the longest time, Zack was known as Isaac Theo Carver, the long-awaited and much-beloved son of Abe and Lexie Carver. For years the two had tried unsuccessfully to have a child of their own with no success, until Lexie's father, Stefano, got them in touch with Marlo, a young pregnant woman. Abe and Lexie adopted the baby that Marlo had given birth to, unaware that Stefano had switched Marlo and Hope's sons.
Both Abe and Lexie were thrilled with their new son — he was everything that they had ever wanted. Even when the baby Hope had was found to have fetal alcohol syndrome and Isaac was normal, no one really thought anything of it. Lexie fell deeper and deeper in love with her newborn baby, and when she learned that Stefano had switched the babies at birth, it devastated her. Hope was her best friend, but Isaac was the child of her heart.
In her desperation to keep the child she craved, there was no limit to what Lexie would do. Everything came to a head when the boys were almost two years old. Paternity tests proved that J.T., the baby Hope and Bo were raising, was actually the son of Glen Reiber and Marlo, which meant that someone else was Hope's baby.
They eventually discovered that Isaac was their son. Originally Bo and Hope wanted to keep both babies, but when they lost custody of J.T. to his biological father and step-mother, they fought all that much harder for Isaac. Abe was prepared to give the Brady's their son, but Lexie fought against it. Isaac had been with them for nearly two years and thought of them as his parents; why disrupt his world now? Unfortunately, when Lexie attempted to flee with her son, Abe arranged for a judge to give custody to Bo and Hope, and Hope was finally reunited with her son.
When Bo and Hope reclaimed their child, they renamed him Beauregard Isaac Theo Brady. Rather than put the child through any more trauma (switching parents mid-stream was bad enough), they opted to refer to him by the nickname Zack.[1]
Zack died on January 12, 2006, after being run over by Bo's SUV, which was driven by his paternal half-sister, Chelsea. Upon his death, his liver was donated to his niece, Claire Brady, and his corneas were donated to Abe Carver; Claire's life was saved and Abe regained his eyesight. Zack's death and the revelation of Chelsea as the SUV driver drove a wedge between Bo and Hope - as well as the rest of the Brady family for most of 2006.
During a funeral for his "cousin" Grace, Hope told Mia that she also knew the pain of losing a child when he was still so young and didn't grow up yet (she didn't know Mia was Grace's biological mother), and curiously enough, referred to Zach as Isaac Beauregard Brady, rather than his nickname. This has only been referred to once and was thought of as a mistake on the writers part.
Zach has been involved in two of his father's visions since his death in 2006. He first lead his father to Theo when he went missing in December 2008 and the later being telling his father that if Ciara lost her tommy bear something bad would happen in June 2009.
