My usual way of handling this is turning the character into a semi-NPC;
that is, the GM (usually me) plays the character but (s)he stays in the
background. When the other players make plans, I tend to assume the absent
player agrees with them, and therefore so does the character, unless it's
something I know the char would really be opposed to.

Not when I GM, because I take the sheets with me at the end of each game
session.
