It could have had something to do with the 'five characters per episode' unwritten rule of production cost that kept him from appearing more often. Perhaps his character was the least important to the plot during this time period, hence his 'non-use'. Just a (non-educated) guess on my part. 

Anne, Connie,

Do you have a favorite Quentin? Like which time period or Storyline? Good Quentin, bad Quentin, zombie Quentin, Grant Douglas Quentin, PT Quentin, 1995 Quentin, 1840?

It's hard to choose, huh?

My favorite Quentin is the one who returned home during the 1897 storyline. I like the Quentin as Quentin, Quentin (lol) before everything starting going wrong for him. My favorite scenes are the one's where he interacts with his family, the gypsies, and of course Trask. I like watching Selby while acting with other males, I mean, I think he does his best work when sharing a scene with other male actors (particularly Edmonds and Lacy). The only two women I really enjoyed watching him play a scene with are Bennett as Judith and Hall as Magda. (Incidentaly, I think the actress who played off of Selby best was Grayson Hall.) Of course his visit with grandmother Edith is priceless. Yeah, my fave is the menacing, sarcastic, greedy, and totally human Quentin.

Check out the news page of my site to see a new photograph from the pilot:

I was expecting a still from the actual pilot, Stuart. Not a photo op.  Great pic though. The "new" Willie is so cute.

Hopefully, we'll find out exactly why the WB passed on the pilot. I would be very interested in learning why, and if the folks (that may be) shopping it to other networks are making any changes to the pilot as a result of the WB's pass.

It would be great if they could show the pilot at the fest, so we could see it for ourselves and perhaps come to our own conclusions. It would make for a fabuolous discussion, IMO.

If the new DS does make it to prime time, it will be interesting to see if there are any cast changes.

All this and still no official word from the WB.
