They are the same person biologically, but because the timelines split, their experineces split. Whereas Hook gets over Milah because of Emma (trading one woman for another), WHook gets over Milah because he has to take care of Alice (trading romantic love for paternal love). So they aren't complete opposites, but they are different because of the different paths their lives went.
