Feel free to comment below :) I guess OUAT's version of the story will be closer to the original fairytale than to the Disney movie. She is probably separated from Prince Eric and they will be reunited during series run. Ursula is only going to be a special squid whose ink Ariel brought to either Rumplestilskin or, more probably, Regina in excange for her legs. She lost the love of her life and somehow ended up in Neverland (or she is actually from Neverland while Prince Eric is from Enchanted Forest).
