Hollyoaks gets a blast from the past later this month as James Redmond reprises his role as Rory 'Finn' Finnegan.

The actor has filmed a brief return appearance to tie in with the Channel 4 soap's 20th anniversary celebrations.

Finn returns to the village after his old friend Tony Hutchinson agrees to renew his wedding vows with Diane O'Connor (Alex Fletcher).

Tony and Diane are currently separated, but they make their big decision as a romantic act of spontaneity.

With Finn in attendance for the last-minute ceremony, Tony and Diane hope their big day will be perfect.

The wedding storyline gives Hollyoaks' original star Nick Pickard a chance to take centre stage in the soap's milestone week. With high drama and explosive showdowns taking place elsewhere in the village, could this be the big feel-good moment of the 20th anniversary?

Redmond played the role of Finn between 1997 and 2002. He also returned for the 2013 series of Hollyoaks Later.
