Rory "Finn" Finnigan is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, played by James Redmond.

In 2009 the Daily Star reported current Hollyoaks producer Lucy Allan was planning to lure Redmond back into his role.

[5][6] Hollyoaks executive producer, Bryan Kirkwood, explained that he decided to bring back the "much-loved" character for a guest stint in order to "celebrate the loyalty of [the] audience", and that the production team had been inspired over the positive reception of the returns of Luke Morgan (Gary Lucy) and Mandy Richardson (Sarah Jayne Dunn), who had returned earlier that year.

Finn arrived in Hollyoaks when Tony Hutchinson discovered a supposed vagrant sleeping in Jambo's old shed.

Finn's enigmatic status attracted considerable interest from women in Hollyoaks including Jude Cunningham, Kate Patrick, Carol Groves and Geri Hudson, even more so when he revealed that he was, in fact, Lord Kildiggin and heir to a castle in Ireland.

True to his nature, Finn declined the inheritance of his castle and although he retained his title, he preferred the life of an anonymous drifter.

After using Finn's title to secure a bank loan, the pair finally got the go ahead to build The Loft.

Finn returned the favour by buying into Tony's new restaurant 'Il Gnosh' and they both became embroiled in a new set of adventures in Hollyoaks: Movin' On.

And so Finn boarded a barge with a mystery woman (cameo appearance by TV presenter Cat Deeley) and sailed off into the sunset.

Finn returned in 2013 for series six of Hollyoaks: Later in which he, Tony, Harry Thompson (Parry Glasspool) and Dom Reilly (John Pickard) go to Spain to attend Dom's wedding and embark on crazy adventures and run foul of a gangster known as The White Man (Danny Dyer).

In December 2017, Finn returns to help Diane who is worried about Tony's mental health, later, he takes a drunken Cindy Cunningham home.

Finn catches up with Luke Morgan and gives Tony a present of an old newspaper of the restaurant years ago.
