From what I have been able to determine, most of them worked without a contract. That is why things happened such as Dennis Patrick leaving to do a movie before his storyline had concluded during Leviathans.
In her very first book, My Scrapbook Memories, KLS wryly commented, "In general, we were not overpaid on DARK SHADOWS."
Grayson's original contract was described as being 13 weeks or 13 episodes whichever came first. There was a long gap of several weeks between her first two appearances. I was told privately by a fan that Grayson had dinner with Louis soon after she started and she quizzed him about how much he was getting because she wanted to be sure her agent had negotiated the contracted correctly. I guess she was pretty upfront about things like that. As she commented in a fan interview on one occasion, with crisp matter-of-factness: "Of course, we have to be paid."
