I don't believe Mary Alice and Paul were a good couple. In fact, in one of my fanfictions, I profiled Mary Alice and Paul as an abusive, albeit loving, relationship. You mean the relationship between Mary Alice and Zach? It was implied in the season 1 finale during flashbacks that they had a loving relationship, but besides that, I don't think anything was revealed. Mary Alice never knew Martha before the blackmail note, and many people say they want scenes with Mary Alice and Edie as the integral characters either through flashbacks or human form, but I don't think tha'td be a good idea; we know that Edie moved onto Wisteria Lane before Mary Alice, and we also know that Mary Alice was running away from her past, so why would she take the time to meet the other neighbors, other than the immediate street?

I agree, although it'd be a change; they want the mystery to flow freely, and they can't do that without filler storylines. :)
