Those characters who looked remarkably alike were spoken of that way by other characters. If they weren't, they were only look-alikes to us. Some may have resembled later characters a bit because they were related, but just in the same way your ancestors may have looked a little bit like you.
My problem is with the occasions when they went out of their way to call attention to resemblances with no logical reason for them, or explanation later. You don't raise mysteries and forget about them. That's sort of, well, rude. We could have just lumped that Pennock psychic guy in with the other very different characters who just happened to be played by one of the same ensemble had they not pointed to the resemblance with neon letters.
