A few people have tried to sell me on this idea but I have never really gotten on board with it. For one, I do imagine that in our universe, Connor still looks like Bryan Dechart - not a brown eyed Maximilian.
While Nines and Connor are technically twins, I think it's common to imagine that Nines actually looks distinct from his predecessor. He is usually drawn with a unique look from most fan artists, a lot of people write or draw him as taller than Connor, etc. Even Bryan has said that they have different voices.
There's also the matter that Maximilian was cast specifically to play Nines, not Connor - and while he's a fantastic actor who I have great faith in, it would require a lot of changes to both his appearance and performance to get him close to what we know and love as "Connor."
But I do think Hank and Connor having some sort of presence, even off screen or implied, is a nice touch. And hey, if Bryan wanted to pop in and play Connor (assuming his QD contract and SAG would even let him) we're game! Haha.
