Jeanne Avery (David's mom) said at the 2002 festival that David wanted to live with his father for a while, which was one of the reasons that he left the show. They did keep him around on a recurring basis. He makes a couple of appearances as Tad in 1840. Avery was an actress turned astrologer and wrote several books on the subject. She also managed to debunk a few of the stories that painted her as a shrew of a stage mother.
I remember reading that Nancy was considering leaving DS in a soap magazine in 1971. She said that the show was impossible to follow at that point and that it made her lazy in terms of acting technique.
