Finn O'Connor is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks. Upon his introduction as part of the O'Connor family, the character was portrayed by Connor Wilkinson. The family were introduced during a "shake-up" of the show by new series producer Paul Marquess. Writers then placed Finn in an issue-led story exploring underage sex and teenage pregnancy with Amber Sharpe (Lydia Lloyd-Henry). The character was written out of the series in 2011.
The character's reintroduction was announced in March 2013, with the role recast to actor Keith Rice. Producers involved Finn in a male rape plot when he rapes schoolteacher John Paul McQueen (James Sutton). At the conclusion of the storyline in October 2014, Finn was written out of the series by being sent to prison. Rice reprised his role for guest stints on three occasions in 2015, 2017 and 2019. His 2019 return features Finn's release from prison.
