OUaT's version of The Little Mermaid will probably combine both the Hans Christian Andersen and Disney endings. I do not think the show will reference the "other princess", who married the prince. Instead, Ariel and Prince Eric will seperated by different Lands.... Ariel in Neverland, while Eric is in the Enchanted Forest.

Maybe, instead of True Love's Kiss turning Ariel permanently human, it will revert her back into a mermaid. Due to the spell, that caused her transformation, being of Dark Magic. Of course, Regina let out that little detail.... she does enjoy screwing with people's lives.

I can imagine Ariel being almost antagonistic (when we first meet her in present-day), due to what happened in the flashback. Perhaps, going as far as to try to kill Regina.
