The daughter of an Italian tiler and a Czech mother, Maria Rossi met Max Ramsay when he worked with her father, Franco, on a building job in Queensland. They fell in love and married, moving to Ramsay Street in Erinsborough where Maria gave birth to a son, Shane.

Maria's marriage to Max was a rocky one. She was caring and sensitive while he was brash and arrogant. When she found him with another woman on their wedding anniversary, Maria fled to a country inn where she met a man called Tim Duncan. They had a passionate one-night stand and parted the next day, agreeing never to meet again. Maria returned to Max, willing to give their marriage another go for Shane's sake. Then she found out she was pregnant with Tim Duncan's child. Maria decided it best never to tell Max that the child he was looking forward to was not his own and the only person who ever knew was her close friend, Helen Daniels. When Danny was born, Maria noticed that Max didn't have the same interest in him as he did with Shane and suspected that Max had an idea he was not the father.

When Danny turned 18, Maria decided to tell Max the truth. Max fled in a rage and moved into a bedsit. With the couple separated, Maria began to fall in love with the insurance man, Richard Morrison and left Erinsborough to live with him in Hong Kong. But after only a few months, Maria returned to her mother's in Queensland and called Max, pleading for a reconciliation. Max agreed and moved up to Brisbane where they gave their marriage a second chance.
