Since Heidi was a girl named "Marcie" in the episode "Probably", and it is implied that her dad died but she has different parents in "Marjorine" as well as other episodes, does that mean the girl named "Marcie" in that episode was in no way Heidi Turner and her character model was just used for random background girls at that point and therefore doesn't count?

How can it be confirmed about whether a character who looks like a major character in today's episodes appeared with a different name appeared in an early episode? Could a South Park Studios FAQ about a certain character's name confirm or no since the information their FAQs provide aren't reliable?

I'm pretty if Trey and Matt confirm it in an episode's commentary then it's official, right? For example, when they did commentaries on the earlier seasons, they pointed out "There's Butters!" and talked about how he just stood in the background at that point and didn't play a major role until Season 3. Even though Butters was named "Puff Puff" and "Swanson" in early seasons, he still appeared nonetheless and his character design sure as hell looked 100% like Butters' modern day character design, so since Trey and Matt confirmed Butters still being in the show's early seasons despite having a different name, does that mean the girl named "Marcie" in "Probably" is 100% Heidi?
