ABC has apparently canceled its midseason vampire-werewolf drama, "The Gates."

The network hasn't officially announced the show's demise, but several of the show's stars are tweeting the sad news to fans.

That's a shame. Now we'll never find out what happens to Charlie now that Devon has turned him into a ... well, we don't really know what that was. And also, we'll miss seeing Pittsboro's Andrea Powell as the uptight werewolf mom, Karen Crezki.

This is an unabridged version of our Q&A, which ran into today's print edition.

Pittsboro actress Andrea Powell has landed a hair-raising role on ABC's supernatural summer drama, "The Gates." Powell plays Karen Crezki, the mother of temperamental teen heartthrob and star athlete Brett Crezki.

Oh yeah, Brett is also a werewolf.

Powell's episodes begin this Sunday (10pm on ABC) and she'll appear on and off throughout the rest of the season. You can also see Powell in an upcoming movie with Renee Zellweger and Forest Whitaker, "My Own Love Song," and also in "Get Low" with Robert Duvall and Sissy Spacek.

We caught up with Powell this week and asked her about her role on "The Gates" and about managing an acting career from Chatham County.
