Well, Joeytrom, I'll agree with you that Frid and Bennett wouldn't have been recast, and most likely, not Louis Edmonds. However, as for Carolyn (Nancy Barrett) and the younger characters, I think he probably would have. Many of the younger characters got their first big break from Dan Curtis. You can be sure all he had to pay them was the minimum required by SAG/AFTRA at the time. Since historically, 98 percent of all union actors are unemployed, it would have been no problem to recast.
