That was a total retcon. He never loved Holly. It was Holly who was obsessed with him, since she was a teenager. By the time she married him, she was pretty much over it. She was in love with Ed.
Yes, Peggy was Roger's one true love. I wonder if Fran had not left if these stories would have turned out much differently.
The only reason they married, really, was because of Christina. Roger wanted to raise her, and since Rita had snapped up Ed, Holly felt it would be good for Christina to grow up with her real father.
Very different from Maureen, much softer, I guess you could say. It's kind of miraculous how Maureen got the audience to accept her. I remember seeing her on her first episode and thinking, "Are you kidding me?" But she had great chemistry with both Mart and Michael right away. That definitely helped. She made Holly her own.
