Again, side board pic.

It's EARLY Quentin, when he was (IIRC) haunting first the kids, then the rest of Collinwood.

Boy, Curtis sure got it right with that dude David Selby 

Does anyone know how many eps D. Selby was originally contracted for?
Within soap opera-dom, is it common for a producer to offer an actor 'X' amount of eps, with the option to keep on said soap?

Thanks,

If David Selby was given a contract at all, it was probably for 13 weeks.  A lot of the actors on DS worked without a contract.  I don't know how they got away with that.  Once it became obvious just how huge a hit Quentin had become with the fans, presumably they did put him under some kind of contract.  Towards the end of the series, it was reported in a teen mag that Keith Prentice had been signed for a 5 year contract.  I don't know how many actors they did that with.  I think Alex Moltke may have been signed for that length of time.

Selby at the time also said, though, that they planned for Quentin to become a speaking role later, so they were planning on doing more with him, but I suppose none of it was definite.

Was she known before DS? A FIVE year contract? If so, how on earth did she get out of it so early? (Can't remember exactly; didn't she leave in early '68?)
