The show, which stars Christina Cox, Kyle Schmid, Dylan Neal and Gina Holden, is similar to HBO's "True Blood" and the book-turned-movie"Twilight." "Blood Ties" is based on the "Blood Books" by Tanya Huff.

"Blood Ties" stars Christina Cox as Vicki Nelson, a former Toronto cop who left the force to become a private investigator after she started to lose her eyesight. Through her work, she met and teamed up with 480-year-old vampire Henry Fitzroy.

There is a mutual attraction between Vicki and Henry, played by Kyle Schmid, but that is further complicated by Vicki's relationship with her former partner and lover, Mike Celluci, played by Dylan Neal. In the beginning, Celluci doesn't believe in vampires and personally thinks that Vicki is not only losing her eyesight, but also her mind.

Vicki's assistant Coreen was hired only because of her knowledge of vampires. Coreen, played by Gina Holden, is thoroughly enamored with the occult as well as Henry.

The TV series has garnered thousands of viewers, even internationally.It premiered in the U.S. on March 11, 2007 on Lifetime, and in fall of that year, it premiered on Citytv and Space in Canada.

It was also bought by the UK channel Living and premiered on August 16, 2007. In Spain, it is shown on Calle 13,and started on November 22, 2007.

Lifetime cancelled "Blood Ties" in May last year, but U.S. fans can watch it for free on Lifetime's website. Fans will also be able to buy the first complete season on DVD, and the second complete season is tentatively scheduled for winter 2009.
