While it's probably true that within the 1795 storyline it seems pretty stupid for Vicki to be continually telling people that they look like someone else, we should probably try to remember that it was mostly a necessary device to clue the audience in to the fact that the present-day actors were now playing different roles in 1795. It wasn't unusual for people to only tune into their soaps for about 3 out of 5 shows a week, so the writers felt it was necessary for Vicki to have the same reaction to each new character simply because some members of the audience might have missed her reactions to the previous characters. Though it probably wouldn't have hurt if at least once or twice she thought her reaction to herself rather than simply blurting it out.
