@DRW50 I feel like Clay being an imposter was always the plan. Otherwise why send someone ahead to "warn" the family that Clay had to have extensive plastic surgery and they wouldn't recognize him? I also feel like Rick exists because of the imposter story, since he's the means by which Ava discovers the truth (and this is really the only function that Rick serves that Curtis couldn't have).
Alex hating Gwyneth more than Clay ever did makes a bit of sense if you consider that he came to Corinth having only gotten Clay's version of their story, which doubtless sanitized Clay's own misdeeds (and, of course, Gwyneth didn't exactly cover herself in glory with all she'd been up to since leaving the real Clay in France)
The show continued to get mileage out of the conflict between Clay and Alex practically until the end, but I've always found it a bit curious that they never seemed to revisit the tension between Alex and Gwyneth later on. When Gwyneth is working with the police in '95, you'd never know that Alex and Gwyn were ever anything other than cordial if you didn't know their history. But perhaps that speaks to the loss of continuity post-1992 that @dc11786 spoke of in an earlier post.
