ABC is set to debut their new vampire-soap “The Gates” tomorrow evening (10/9c.) as part of their new summer season lineup. However, if you’re chomping at the bit for a taste, the studio has made available a preview clip of the pilot episode’s first 17-minutes.

The clip introduces us to milfy vampire Claire Radcliff  (Rhona Mitra) as she showers and rubs lotion all over her tan and shapely legs … oh, and attempts to cover up an impulse kill from her husband Dylan (Luke Mably) and new Gates police chief Nick Monahan (Frank Grillo).

Take a look:

At a glance, ‘The Gates” appears to be a mix of vampire cliche and “Desperate Housewives” gloss—think of it as a bottle of Tru Blood Light. It’s doubtful that the show will fare any better than ABC’s previous horror offering “Happy Town” (It’s cancellation was announced two episodes in).

That said, I’d watch Rhona Mitra pick her nose … provided she did it slowly and in the shower.

“The Gates” costars Marisol Nichols, Travis Caldwell, Skyler Samuels, Colton Haynes, Chandra West, Victoria Platt, Justin Miles, and Janina Gavankar.
