So, tried to play EP 3 today, only to have the game crash and my saves stop working. I found a fix, and was able to start again from the very end of EP 2. Everything seemed good until a few minutes into EP 3, when Doug showed up (I saved Carley). The thing is, Carley was present in EP 2, and in the previously on at the start of 3.

I'm not sure why this happened, and I don't really want to seek out info for fear of spoilers. Is think a known bug/problem? Anything I can do?

I think on PC there was some weirdness around saves not importing but i had heard a patch fixed it, i assume yours is up to date.

I assume so. Bought the season off Steam a few days ago. Everything else seems right as far as previous choices, it's just this one thing. I've tried wiping the save and using an older one, same thing happens. Carley is there until the part after the drug store, and then Doug shows up.

I guess I'm just going to have to live with it, but I would have liked to see the story out with Carley.
