Nah, Shermer IL. is just populated with a LOT of white people. Eventually you're going to come across a few that look alike. Ted the geek looks like Brian from the Breakfast Club who also happens to look very much like Gary from Weird Science. Same goes for Sam/Claire, hell they probably were in some of the same classes togetherimagine the confusion.

I don't think that when John Hughes said that all his movies are in the same universe did he necessarily mean the characters were the same people just because they were played by the same actors and actresses. However, some of his characters ARE the same. His '88 movie 'She's Having a Baby' includes a cameo by Ferris Bueller and John Candy/Dan Aykroyd as the characters from 'The Great Outdoors'. And I like to think that Kevin Bacon's cameo in 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' is the same character he plays in 'She's Having a Baby'. So the universe is more connected than we thought, but Molly Ringwald is not playing the same character throughout.

Yes, I think it is, as it is recurring throughout numerous Hughes films.

Sounds like flawless logic to me.

All possible Mollys exist in the Hughes universe simultaneously until the collapse of the wave function. She's just a hussy who needs to settle down, right?

After destroying his parents house and his father's Rolls, Jake was disowned. So he got a mohawk, bought a motorcycle and moved to Spokane to be a high school wrestler. Oh, and he changed his name to Kuch.
