It's just because DP is a very popular show, and most of us are in the age range that DP and TDI belong to, so it's natural that a lot of us watch the same show, it has nothing to do with the characters being alike. When I started watching TDI, around episode four I noticed that Gwen was a tiny bit like Sam, but I didn't try to think of her as Sam or anything, it ws a one second realization, that faded away by the next minute, and LeShawna really isn't like Valerie that much xD
