all about The Gates

Nestled inside a private mountain community are The Gates. The image of perpetual suburban bliss, each street is lined with perfectly manicured homes protected by the massive iron gates, but a dark and delicious secret is buried just beneath the surface of this picturesque neighborhood.

Like most families that settle inside The Gates, the Monohans are unmoored from a complicated life they abandoned in Chicago. Named the new police chief of The Gates, Nick Monohan is expecting a change of pace in this quiet suburb. Nick's wife, Sarah, and their children, Charlie and Dana, are embarking on new adventures as well. Their house is to die for, but amidst the excitement, Sarah is still burdened with the revelation that her husband may not be the man she thought he was. Charlie and Dana will also face some challenges of their own: Along with navigating the trials and tribulations of adolescence, they'll also face the daunting task of fitting into their new upscale school, where their new friends run in tight-knit packs.

There's something very different about this place, almost... haunting. Unions will be complicated by friends with unnatural influence, insatiable housewives will struggle with ravenous cravings, and teenagers will be cursed with keeping their beastly instincts in check. The Monohans are facing an uncertain fate. Nick is about to be tangled up in a mystery where he will begin to piece together the dark truth about their new home, and the supernatural elements that lurk behind the shadows of The Gates.

The Gates stars Frank Grillo as Nick Monohan, Marisol Nichols as Sarah Monohan, Rhona Mitra as Claire Radcliff, Luke Mably as Dylan Radcliff, Travis Caldwell as Charlie Monohan, Skyler Samuels as Andie Bates, Colton Haynes as Brett Crezski, Chandra West as Devon, Victoria Platt as Peg Mueller, Justin Miles as Marcus Jordan and Janina Gavankar as Leigh Turner. The Gates is produced by Fox Television Studios. The series is executive-produced by Gina Matthews and written and executive-produced by Grant Scharbo and Richard Hatem.

Looking forward to this show and after seeing the promo during Lost I know for sure vampires are a part of the show with other supernatural beings I think.

Man I love me some Rhona Mitra but she left a bad taste in my mouth with that dreaded movie called Doomsday!!

Got Em!!

I think this has failure written all over it. Just another cash in on the vampire craze. You know what we really need is Dark Shadows to be updated, now that was a cool show.

Regardless of how terrible Doomsday was, Rhona Mitra made being a one eye chick who pops her dead eye camera in and out of her skull sexy. So no matter what that woman does, her cheek bones make me drool....

This looks terrible. I'll pass. I predict cancellation after 3 episodes.

Totally agree, looks like Desperate Housewives with Vampires added to the mix

Oh I agree it does look absolutely horrible, that's why it's on this summer. But Rhona Mitra is gorgeous so at the very least I can watch this on mute.

I caught a promo of this show today on TV. Is she a vampire?

Yes she's a vampire it's basically a gated community with supernatural creatures.

The Big Blue · 05-26-2010, 03:06 AM

Looks like they decided to combine everything that sucks (no pun intended) into one show.

Oh it won't be lol, it'll be completely horrible. Especially when compared to True Blood which will already have began it's third season by the time this starts.

Well than you are missing out on some damn good really entertaining fun. If you have netflix you can stream the first 5 seasons.

Batman1980 · 06-17-2010, 07:37 AM

Mitra is going to be in this and for that reason alone I will make this the second vampire show this year I take a blind leap on. Premieres Sunday night on ABC, check local listings.

WyldeMan45 · 06-22-2010, 02:36 AM

I watched the premiere last night just for Rhona as well. My god that woman just oozes pure sex in everything she does. Any look she gives, I get chills. I love that woman, and for her alone I will watch this show as long as it's on. It does have an interesting premise even if we have seen it done before, but hey the vamps are already meaner than anything on the CW.

It would be great if this stayed on for awhile during the summer, however it premiered to only a 1.5 rating so I don't see that happening. Please put Rhona on HBO where she can showcase her talents.
