I see that I fell fairly and squarely into the trap! Now it all makes sense. At least the alternative character features in the answer to the seventh clue.

Actually I cant find the phrase either, but I think that the puzzle is still very clever. Would never have known about the red herring but for this site.

Hi muersalt.
Thank you.
Very clever.

Eric Van Lustbader would be happy.

Does the quotation have anything to do with Spy stuff?
It does not seem necessary because once you highlight the 18 cells, nothing else is required.

I hope at some point someone gives a hint on where to look for the quote. And lengths of three words.

I came here to ask for help with a couple of clues, but could not help noticing the mention of a certain actor, and the first and last letters of a certain author's name. I am hoping this was a complete red herring, but would be like to be sure before I plod on in my slowcoach way !
Thank you.

Hi, novice, an earlier post has mentioned that this is of the form 6-2-6. The definition is “involving contact”, and the wordplay leads to a short word one of whose many meanings is “assigned to”, followed by a word meaning “drunkard”, all inside an expression (not in the dictionary but rather apt - I chuckled when I got it) for which Prince Edward is one of three examples.
