Have you thought about doing something with Midge noticing the resemblance between Jackie and Bootsy in your Schneiders in Stars Hollow? Since Brian Tarantina played both characters? Like maybe she teases him asking if he likes ocarinas and autoharp or something.
I actually wonder if she'd be a little spooked at the resemblance. Obviously it's fictional, so we can pretend that there are more differences in Bootsy and Jackie than there really are, since it's the same actor.
But I actually see her kind of...noticing and then following him around a little. Like. She hides behind a bush as he walks down the street and just- tries to get a better look without being noticed.
And think of Susie coming to town, taking one look at Bootsy and going "GHOST! SHIT! JACKIE IS FINALLY HAUNTING ME FOR MY SINS!"
But the reality is that people have dopplegangers in real life. I've certainly had friends who are out of town be like "I SAW YOUR TWIN AT THE GROCERY STORE/AT A CLUB/Etc." So it's not totally out of the question.

Parker Posey in Personal Velocity: Three Portraits (Rebecca Miller, 2002)
Cast: Kyra Sedgwick, Parker Posey, Fairuza Balk, John Ventimiglia (voice), Ron Leibman, Wallace Shawn, Susan Blommaert, David Warshofsky, Leo Fitzpatrick, Tim Guinee, Patti D'Arbaville, Ben Shenkman, Joel de la Fuente, Marceline Hugot, Brian Tarantina, Seth Gilliam, Lou Taylor Pucci. Screenplay: Rebecca Miller, based on her stories. Cinematography: Ellen Kuras. Production design: Judy Becker. Film editing: Sabine Hoffman. Music: Michael Rohatyn.
Having a literary celebrity like Arthur Miller for a father seems to have had a profound effect on writer-director Rebecca Miller: It surely informed the central installment of the collection of three short films she called Personal Velocity. Greta (Parker Posey) is an editor for a New York publishing house whose father (Ron Leibman) is a famous lawyer but also a bully and a philanderer. He lords it over his daughter and her husband (Tim Guinee), a fact checker at the New Yorker and an unambitious man who has been taking his time to write a dissertation for his Ph.D. When Greta achieves a measure of success in her career, she finds that it's time to discover who she is other than a daughter and a wife. Posey's fine performance gives this episode the energy and focus it needs. Similarly good performances come from Kyra Sedgwick and Fairuza Balk in the other two segments, both of which also deal with a woman at a turning point in her life. Sedgwick plays Delia, married to an abusive man (David Warshofsky), who escapes with her children to a shelter for battered women and begins a new life as a waitress. Delia has a history of using sex as a means to get even with the world, and when she finds herself giving a hand job to an unpleasant auto mechanic, she realizes she has to come to terms with her life. Balk is Paula, who is living with a man in New York City, but when she discovers she's pregnant and narrowly escapes being killed in a freak accident (we hear news reports of the accident in the other two segments), she hits the road, picking up a young hitchhiker (Lou Taylor Pucci) along the way. As with most road movies, it's a journey of self-discovery. But these stories feel more cooked-up than Greta's; they lack its verbal wit and the feeling that they come out of an internalized experience.
