I got the feeling that the reason he got bored with Elizabeth and Hope was because they were very easy to control. Hope forgave everything (which was SO anticlimatic, after years of all the secrets Alan kept from her). So it's not unbelievable that he would be attracted to both Van and Reva. (Trish being so much like Hope was the one thing about that storyline that seemed off to me).
He knew Vanessa during her "vamp" years. Maybe he thought they were both cosmopolitan enough to turn a blind eye to any flirtations. I doubt he expected a dutiful, faithful wife like Elizabeth or Hope.
