I just got the DVD of Dante's Cove Season 2, Here TV's Dark Shadows/Queer as Folk hybrid.
Will post about it after viewing.
I am looking forward to seeing new cast member Thea Gill, who was on Queer as folk.
Here has already announced that Dante will have a third season. Joining the cast will be Reichen Lemkul, ex BF of New Kid Lance Bass!
There's a preview on the Dante 2 disc of The Lair, Here's upcoming gay vampire soap!
(Dante is more about witchcraft)
Colton Ford, a gay porn star turned dance mucic maker, has the lead in The Lair.
OK, we don't have a new DS, but we do have these shows on Here, and they all come to DVD
after airing!

I thought the fangs on here!'s promo page for "The Lair" were reminiscent of the false-fingernail fangs some of the ladies on DS sported . (I have a theory that not only KLS as vampire Josette, but also Marsha Mason as "Audrey the Leviathan Vampire Girl" had false fingernail fangs.)

RE: them fangs:
either Kathryn or Terrayne admitted at a fest that their fangs were indeed Lee nails, purchased at Rite-Aid!!!!
Since the ladies showed teeth for only one episode each, the show took the cheap route, rather than making dentures as they did for Frid, Parker, Wandrey, Briscoe & Davis.

KLS described the false fingernail fang incident in the original edition of her first book, My Scrapbook Memories. There's a grand series of photographs taken by Ben Martin the day she had to be made up as "vampire Josette."
I also really loved the second version of vampire Josette (I think she appeared in the 1796 flashback aired between the end of 1897 and the start-up of Leviathans in November of '69?). She had a glam edge to her, as I recall...

The Lair season 1 has begun airing on Here! TV.
I've been assigned to write about it for Bay Area Reporter.
I interviewed star Colton Ford, who called it "a gay Dark Shadows".
Then, director Fred Olen Ray talked eloquently about how DS & other Gothic works of art influenced him.
I'll post the story here after it's published.
BTW, on July 1st, Here! TV goes from being a pay-per-view channel to a full time premium service on Comcast.
In Sept, Here! returns to the Dish Network line-up.
