The Doctor/scientist who was experimenting w/cloning was Dr. Michael Burke (played by Peter Hermann), not Will Jeffries (played by Joseph Breen). Dr. Burke eventually died. If memory serves, it was suicide in his lab or a lab experiment gone wrong.
Peter Hermann has done a lot of work since GL, including Fringe & 30 Rock. He also married Mariska Hargitay (Olivia Bensen/L&O SVU). He occasionally appears on SVU as an attorney.
I hope someone else fills in the rest for you because I've forgotten a lot.
Yes, she really was a clone. I can't remember why the "real" Reva was gone (presumed dead, I think, but Josh was so devastated and didn't want to have to tell the kids (again) that their mother was dead. There was a doc on the show (maybe his name was Will Jeffries?) who was experimenting with cloning and he offered (or maybe Josh asked?( to clone Reva. He conveniently also had some aging serum, so Reva was cloned and given aging serum to catch up with Real Reva. They tried to teach her to be like Real Reva, but she was stubborn and hated okra (Real Reva's favorite food). She did love Joshua madly, though, and wanted to sleep with him but he was reluctant as she just wasn't Real Reva. (Can't remember if he ever did do the deed with her.) They called her Dolly (aka the cloned sheep.) Real Reva came back and Dolly overdosed on the serum because Josh loved Real Reva and because the writers ddin't know what to do with her. I believe she became Michelle Bauer a few years down the road.
Corrections are welcome.
