Finn O'Connor is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Connor Wilkinson in his first stint from 2010 until the following year, and Keith Rice in his second and third stint from 2013 to 2015 and 2017. The character was introduced during a "shake-up" of the show by new series producer Paul Marquess during 2010 as a member of the O'Connor family. He arrived alongside dad, Rob O'Connor (Gary Cargill), stepmum, Diane O'Connor (Alex Fletcher) and sister, Sinead O'Connor (Stephanie Davis) and has since been at the centre of an underage sex and pregnancy storyline with Amber Sharpe (Lydia Lloyd-Henry). It was announced on 22 August 2011 that Finn had left to live with his father.
On 6 March 2013, it was announced that Finn would return, but recast to Keith Rice, the following month. Finn returned on 16 April 2013, following the brief return of Rob the previous episode. His storylines, since his return, have included; his friendship with Robbie Roscoe (Charlie Wernham), his attempt to reunite with his daughter Bella Sharpe, his homophobia and rape of John Paul McQueen (James Sutton), his attack on Blessing Chambers (Modupe Adeyeye) and his attempt to rape Nancy Osborne (Jessica Fox), which led to his comeuppance. He was found guilty of raping John Paul and attacking Nancy and made his last appearance on 3 October 2014. The character returned for a guest stint on 11 February 2015. He returned on 9 February 2017, before departing again on 21 February 2017.
