“I was really excited to have Mary back because I think she brings a very unusual sense of humor to the show,” admitted Meredith.
“I also like that she’s pretty direct and doesn’t really hold back her opinions, so I thought it was great to have her back,” she added.
Mary has already demonstrated her ability to make thoughtless and even offensive remarks ahead of Tuesday night’s season four premiere.
In a trailer for the new season released in August, Mary took the bait when Heather Gay asked if she thought she looked “inbred,” to which Mary replied, “I do.”
Interestingly, Mary is married to her step-grandfather – they are not blood relatives – after her grandmother encouraged her to do so before her death in 1997.
“She’s just funny.” “She makes me laugh,” Meredith continued about her friend.
Although Mary will be back, there won’t be a full reunion of the original cast as former star Jen Shah won’t be there as she continues to serve a five-and-a-half year prison sentence.
But Meredith said there is no “heavy emptiness” where Jen once was.
“Of course there will be a change in energy, but it’s an ensemble, so there are a lot of people contributing to it and playing their part in it, so to speak,” she said. “There is a change, but it’s just different.”

One source said that “Mary wanted to come back,” while another explained that Mary’s absence from season three was largely due to the scandalous firing of her former co-star Jennie Nguyen.
Nguyen’s brief season as a Housewife went down in flames when her racist social media posts mocking the Black Lives Matter movement resurfaced online.
The source explained: “Jennie’s racist posts seemed to really shake Mary, especially after Jennie threw a glass at her on camera. “Mary was grateful for the time away from the cameras, but she seems ready to get back into it.”
‘Here I am!’ Mary said as she entered Meredith’s jewelry store at the beginning of the season four trailer.
During her confessional, she then tells the camera, “Someone save me quick!”
