I would have preferred that he be cast as Jason Ewing instead.  That might have been great to see an expansion of Jock's family. That aside, the problem with the writing with Clayton was the same with Lucy, Katherine Wentworth, and Holly Harwood.  There were possibilities that they could have gone with the character.   The writers seemed to not know what to do with certainly characters after they are introduced.  He should have kept the Southern Cross. Southfork was Ellie's home not his.  I agreed with JR when he referred to Clayton as an outsider which is what he was.   These are wealthy people so its not unheard of for them to have one residence.  It was just Clayton and Dusty. I would have liked to have seen more members of the Farlow family.</blockquote>
