General Hospital alum Tyler Christopher claimed that his sister, Susan Asmo Baker, took advantage of his finances while he was under her guardianship.
According to an investigation published by Bloomberg Law, Christopher accused Baker of using $40,000 of his own money after he fell in the bathroom and fractured his skull. The accident put him under Baker’s guardianship for nearly two years, starting in January 2020.
Christopher told the outlet that he never thought he “would be taken advantage of” by a member of his own family. He said that Baker spent the $40,000 to pay off credit card debt and fund her family’s move.
Baker responded in a statement: “If I hadn’t been his guardian, he’d be dead!”
The publication included a series of emails that Baker sent Christopher during the guardianship. She wrote, “I would have never done you wrong, not before your injury, during or after, and for some reason you think I need your money.” She continued, “Sad that you don’t even trust me. That’s what hurts the most.”
Christopher argued that he wasn’t aware of the terms of the guardianship arrangement, saying that he was recovering from a major brain injury at the time, so the decision to have a guardian was made without his consent.
According to court records, the actor asserted that his sister wanted to help him, at least initially, but then he noticed her spending and “egregious abuse” of their legal agreement. Christopher’s lawyer, Justin Schrock, said in official documents that Baker used her brother’s income “as her personal slush fund.”
In April 2023, Baker consented to pay for an accountant to investigate her spending during the time she was her brother’s guardian.

Meanwhile, Christopher was arrested for public intoxication after being found asleep on the floor at Burbank Airport in May. The actor explained that the incident was a “relapse,” but he is now in recovery.
