If Paul Young were ever arrested for his two crimes you could imagine neighbors telling the news reporters that they all thought he was a weirdo. Pleasant looking enough, he exudes an eerie quality that makes his neighbors uncomfortable. And rightly so. This is a man who buried a dead body is his pool and murdered Mrs. Huber with his bare hands. And yet what keeps Paul from being completely unsympathic is his passionate love for Mary Alice. He laments his wife's death and can't get over it. Though there were several times over the course of the first season when we wondered whether the Young's might move, we always wanted them to stay. Every neighborhood, like every family, needs someone to gossip about. For Paul Young, life is not a joking matter and one's neighbors have no right to pry into one's personal business. If anyone tries to tell him otherwise, well, she'd better watch out... or she might end up like Martha Huber.

John sees something in Gabrielle this is beautiful and worthy of love. It is love that keeps him chasing her, even after his parents try to break them apart.
