Lyricist, producer and writer Howard Ashman had originally envisioned Ursula's relationship with King Triton as a soap opera, and thus drew inspiration from soap opera actress Joan Collins. [13] Ursula was originally conceived as Triton's sister, [14] which would have naturally made the character Ariel's aunt, [15] but the idea was ultimately abandoned.
