[Kolokotronis]

“It is rather difficult to argue that St. Iraeneus isn’t saying souls aren’t immortal after they are created....I think Iraeneus if very clear that once God has created a soul, it exists forever.”

Boy, I don’t see where you reconcile what you and Boyce are saying with what +Iraeneus wrote about immortality being a gift from God to the holy. The souls of the wicked are not immortal. That is denied to them.

The souls of the wicked are not immortal. That is denied to them.

I take it by this answer that you believe the souls of the wicked are annihilated after this life; is that correct? What happens to them?

If you want ANOTHER church father I would suggest A Treatise on the Soul by Tertullian where he states:

whereas the soul is immortal; and being immortal, it is therefore indissoluble; and being indissoluble, it is figureless: for if, on the contrary, it had figure, it would be of a composite and structural formation.

For in this philosophy lie both their Æons and their genealogies. Thus, too, do they divide sensation, both into the intellectual powers from their spiritual seed, and the sensuous faculties from the animal, which cannot by any means comprehend spiritual things.

The truth is, the soul is indivisible, because it is immortal; (and this fact) compels us to believe that death itself is an indivisible process, accruing indivisibly to the soul, not indeed because it is immortal, but because it is indivisible.

If this isn't enough, the Catholic website NewAdvent is very clear:

As we have already observed, the immortality of the human soul is one of the most fundamental tenets of the Christian Religion. -New Advent - Immortality

Sorry, on this one the Catholic Church and Protestant Church both agree, the soul is created at birth and is immortal. If the Orthodox does not believe that then I would suggest they check with their Catholic friends. You are simply trying a back handed attempt at making a case for the annihilation of the wicked. Sorry that won't work.
