Clayton Farlow was raised on the Southern Cross Ranch with his sister Jessica. He became a successful businessman in oil and a ranch owner due to his father’s training. Clayton married Amy and they adopted Clayton’s younger sister Jessica’s child named Steven. Jessica grew jealous of Amy for raising her son, so she set Amy’s house on fire while with her in it. Clayton’s adopted son Steven, more commonly known as Dusty, had an affair with J.R.’s wife, Sue Ellen. While Clayton also found himself attracted to Sue Ellen, he ended up falling in love and marrying Miss Ellie after Jock died.
