Only reason she looks like Gwyneth is because Eva Myles played both characters... I wouldn't call that evidence for Gwen being psychic.

I wouldn't call it evidence, either, but it's a reason: there's no need to think within the text here. They gave a reason for Martha Jones' resemblanced to the character in the role she had in Doctor Who's "Army of Ghosts": they said Adeola was Martha's cousin. They have given no reason for Gwen's resemblance to Gwyneth, and though she could be a relative, she can't be a descendent, and reincarnation is ruled out in a show that states there is 'nothing' after death. A thematic link remains possible.

Feel free to butt in! I find it an interesting topic.

Another reason for me to wonder is that Jack's motivation for hiring Gwen seemed thin to me, given her set of skills. If he saw something in her that most people can't see - such as psychic abilities - it would explain why he thought she would be an asset to the team. It would explain why he's trying to get her to think in non-linear ways. It would explain why the first thing he did when she got into the Hub in "Everything Changes" was to take her to see the Weevil and to look into its eyes.
