Long-time General Hospital viewers will remember Nicolas Bechtel as a quick-witted, scene-stealing child when he played Spencer Cassadine from 2013 to 2020. But those same fans might not recognize Bechtel now! Bechtel joined the long-running soap when he was eight years old, playing the son of Nikolas Cassadine (played at the time by the late Tyler Christopher) and Courtney Matthews. He left the show in 2020, when he was 15, and was replaced by Nicholas Chavez when producers decided to age up the character. Now 19, Bechtel shared a new profile pic on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, March 11, and surprised many fans who best remembered him as a precocious little kid. “Can’t believe how grown up you are! Time freakin flies! Amazing picture! Hope you’re doing great,” wrote former General Hospital castmate Kristen Alderson. #NewProfilePic pic.twitter.com/FMcudQI6st — Nicolas J.

Tyler Christopher was a beloved soap actor who battled his share of demons.
He played the eldest son of Laura (Genie Francis), Nikolas Cassadine, for over 1,000 episodes on the ABC soap General Hospital.
After leaving Gh, he appeared on Days of our Lives as Stefan Dimera, but that didn’t last long before he was replaced with former Gh co-star Brandon Barash.
Alcohol was an issue Tyler battled for years. He had been open about his struggles and what they cost him while talking to his former Gh co-star, Maurice Benard, on his podcast, State of Mind.
Despite his attempts to get clean, he didn’t keep his sobriety long. His drinking led to troubles with the law and, unfortunately, contributed to his passing.

Not everyone knows this, but Jason Alexander and Robert Redford have a lot in common. They are both actors, for example. They have both won a lot of awards for acting, just none of the same awards. They were both born in the United States of America. They both directed the 1993 movie "Quiz Show." Oh, wait, no they didn't. That was just Redford, never mind.
Okay, so maybe Jason Alexander and Robert Redford don't have a whole lot in common. But there is one unusual bit of trivia that connects. They both played completely against type as the Grim Reaper in an excellent episode of "The Twilight Zone," and they both knocked it out of the park.

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!”

Soap actor Tyler Christopher is claiming that his sister Susan Asmo Baker took advantage of him when she was put in charge of his finances.
Christopher was put under her care in January 2020 for 20 months after he developed a serious head injury after falling and hitting his head. He required life-saving surgery after suffering from internal bleeding. Due to the injury, Christopher was unable to take care of himself, so Baker was awarded temporary guardianship.
Christopher is now accusing Baker of using $40,000 of his money as her own for her financial needs. In court papers, Christopher claims that Baker received reimbursements that were improper for a MacBook that she bought for her son, credit card debt and moving costs.
In response to these allegations, Baker has hired a forensic accountant who will review her expenses from April.
