"One thing that might havd been interesting is if Morgause was Uther's daughter, with Gorlois marrying a pregnant Vivienne to avoid a scandal, if Uther was slated to marry Ygraine as part of a bargain with her family for their backing to claim the throne."

That would take away the passion and deep love that Uther felt for Igraine, even if he only came to love her later during their marriage (which I still doubt  since we were supposed to believe that Igraine was his one and only true love). Though it's possible, of course.

I would imagine that Morgause was supposed to be Igraine's daughter at first but that later they realised that Igraine must have been very, very young when giving birth to Morgause since she was several years older than Arthur and Morgana. One solution could have been that Igraine was forced into a relationship as a teenager already or maybe even raped, but I doubt that the show wanted to take it that far. However, such a thing could have also explained why Morgause was smuggled out of Camelot in case that young Igraine lived in Camelot at that point of time already. Maybe even before Uther became king. And this would explain why Uther was led to believe that she had died, given that a child of Igraine before their marriage would have caused problems.

It's all only speculation, of course.
