Statements about Willie Adama[edit]

Have there been any official statements from the Caprica creators on their reasoning behind the head-fake of Willie not actually being the Bill Adama of BSG? I know there are lots of fan reasonings for why it makes sense (the age, the eye color, etc.) but curious as to whether any of the writers or producers could give some insight into their thought processes.

You have directly the answer in the two last episodes of Caprica (beware the spoiler if you didn't see them already):
Spoiler follows, highlight to read.
Willie Adama is killed in "Here Be Dragons", Evelyn Adama gives birth to another child, William "Bill" Adama, named after his grand-father and Willie. ("Apotheosis").
