I so wish they'd dropped the thing about resemblances ASAP. I suppose that they thought the audience required some acknowledgement of the similarities, since entire casts on TV shows didn't just start playing all new characters en masse, suddenly. If Victoria "ignored" it, the audience might have been thrown by that.
If they intended never to reveal any explanation though, they should have stopped mentioning resemblances and given the audience a chance to get used to the new characters and get it into their heads that actors can play more than one role. They did it in 1897, but then in 1970 a hundred question marks are raised about Sebastian being Jeb, which they just expect you to forget about later. Slap a funny moustache on Sebastian and don't bring up Jeb...
