Finn - brother of Sinead and stepson of Diane - was previously played by Connor Wilkinson for a year from September 2010. The character later departed the village to live with his father Rob.
The teenager's return scenes will air in mid-April, making the O'Connor clan a bigger presence in the village again.
Alex Fletcher, who plays Diane, first hinted at Finn's return in an interview with Digital Spy last month.
She said at the time: "I think it's nice to have that single mum and daughter situation. That's the reality of life and there's a lot of single parents out there. Although I do like that, it's not to say that the rest of the family won't make a comeback. It may not be just the two of us forever."
Finn's biggest storyline was an underage sex plot in 2010, which saw him father a baby daughter with Amber Sharpe.
New recruit Rice has previously appeared in three-part children's series Rocket's Island, which was made by Hollyoaks' production company Lime Pictures. His other screen credits include parts in Little Crackers, Small Creatures and Casualty 1907.
