The new executive producer, Frank Valentini, opens up about drawing in modern viewers, while cast-members thank the show's loyal fan base. They say that "General Hospital" has been such a hit because everyone has a "soap opera story" they can relate to, and in the end, we all crave a little drama in our lives!
