Everyone wants to know who the burglar was on Fair City and some of the guesses are hilarious

Poor Jackie was distraught in last night's Fair City after a burglar got into the Pod office and held her at knifepoint in a terrifying scene.

Hughie was devastated after realising it was he who unwittingly let the robber get in.

But to be honest, everyone else is only interested in one thing - who was this mysterious intruder?

Fair City Spoilers: Horror as Jackie is held at at knife point - and it's all Hughie's fault 

Social media has been hopping since last night's episode with fans of the RTE soap taking to Twitter to try and figure out whodunnit.

One viewer reckons Melanie's son Alex could be the man behind the mask.

It's no secret that the pair have had money troubles with poor Melanie even ending up homeless at one point.

Or what about kidnapper Ciaran Holloway, who held Katie captive for months on end in one of Fair City's most talked about ever storylines?

Viewers assumed he was gone for good after getting stabbed and falling from a pier - but his body was never identified.

And with Johnny Ward finished up on Dancing With The Stars, the timing could be right.

Another fan suggested a long shot - Eoghan's son Emmet.

Although he's meant to be in prison, she pointed out that people often have a habit of reappearing - or indeed disappearing without warning on the soap.

She wrote: "I know he was locked up they haven’t mentioned him in ages... he might just pop up?

"They like to forget ppl in that program and just randomly drop them in haha where’s mondos kid these days?

"Or carol and Robbie."

Someone else thinks it could be a real blast from the past - Damien's brother Mark played by former Eurovision star Ryan O'Shaughnessy, whom we haven't seen in Carrigstown since 2010.

But then he changed his mind to shine the spotlight on Jackie's own son Neil.

Have Fair City fans just predicted an incredible plot twist in the Orla, Wayne and Tommy saga? 

The fan wrote:

"What about Mark - Damien's psycho brother?

"Could it be him?! Don't think he knows Jackie though.

"It might be Jackie's own son Neil - after his restaurant has failed!"

Deciding on one culprit is just too much for one fan, who tweeted a poll to help guess the burglar's identity.

And that wasn't the only poll - but we reckon this viewer mightn't be taking it quite so seriously.
